The History of Colic

Gripe water dates back to William Woodward, who was a doctor practicing in London in the mid 1800s. He came up with this combination of dill oil and alcohol that contained alcohol which he called gripe water. And like I said, he named it that probably because he was aiming it more at just if your baby's tummy is messed up for any reason. The original packaging has been painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, which is still used on infant bottles today.
